How to vote: Polling sites, times for Dutchess County school budget, board votes
Today, Dutchess County voters will cast their ballots to decide on more than $1.12 billion in spending between the county's 13 school districts.
There are also contested school board elections in 10 districts, with some candidates backed by organized movements fueled in response to divisive issues like critical race theory, COVID safety measures and religion.
Below are the polling sites and times for each district. Some districts have multiple locations, which require residents to consult either the school website or the mailer they should have received. Scroll below for a look at each budget proposal and school board candidates.
Budgets: Dutchess schools plan investments in mental health, learning with proposed spending plans
